So are we seeing Nostradamus coming true?

Nostradamus said that a 3rd WW will start in the Middle East.
1. Russia and china seems to be happy that Assad is murdering his people.
2. Both again seem happy for Iran to make nuclear capability

One thing is for sure, Syria will not be allowed to settle until the deposing of Assad or his murder.
There cannot be peace in Syria until he is gone.
Iran will for sure provocate and build a nuclear arm of some kind.

In either case America will either go in or back someone else to go in and do something.
China for sure is backing Iran by buying all of their oil at inflated prices.

And then there is the 3rd item. Global recession! It could be all sorted with good old war!

Don't trust the Greeks!

So another bail out has been agreed.
Be WARNED! the Greeks have not been entirely truthful about their debt and you can expect at least another Euro 100 bln suddenly being realized.
I think the idea is to bleed the EU and then pull out of the Euro and be totally debt free!!

IPAD being attacked by the Chinese

So following on from my previous blogs about the Chinese taking over, here is another example.
Proview of China are suing Apple saying that they had the IPAD name and should hold the rights!
Now what does IPAD stand for?

Interpersonal Awareness Device   IPAD

So the question is? How on earth they would get that acronym from a language of signs!

This of course is retaliation for the USA suing various companies in China for their cheap reproductions. However, expect the shares to fall in Apple Inc. as long as the Chinese want to cause hassle.

Expect Greece to leave the Euro followed by Italy soon

Greece is in turmoil.
If anyone earns a salary the average is down to less than Euro800 a month.
Now with the latest EU rules signed by all but the UK the EU, IMF and European Central bank can impose all kinds of measures. Now with Greece they will call for more austerity measures without question.
People just won't stand for it! Especially as the Greeks remember the war and will not allow the Germans to dictate to them. This will bring the country near to civil war !
Greece has to pull out. If they do then others will look to do the same.
I know I haven't been alone in calling for the Euro to break, but I have been saying it since it's inception and more vehemently in the past year or so.

God moves in mysterious ways!

So in the UK the church synod complains that the congregation is falling, youngsters have dropped away.
However, there have been 2 sure things 1. people want to get married 2. people die and need funerals.

So it seems God has found an answer to the synods questions.
1. up the cost of marriages by 40%
2. Put  fee on people dying by 50%

So of course this will mean 1. Registry office marriages or non-marriage 2. More small cremations and forget about the vicar doing a big speech.

This sounds like God is not an economist in these tight times! May as well have a performance bonus to top it!!

The Labour govt, the Olympic Committee and the Int'l Olympic Committee

1. Labour won the Olympics
2. They budgeted Stg 2.5 bln, but it's costing Stg 12bln! and if you read my blog my guess was 10 bln
3. The final cost is likely to be nearer to Stg 15bln. Please tell me how we are going to make this back?
4. The IOC takes 25-50% commission on everything if not more. I know from dealing with them.

Who wants to host this in future??

UK economical pick up

What the majority of people don't know or understand is how the global economical cycles work.
Ok so here it is:
1. Starts in USA
2. Then UK 9 months later
3.Then Europe 12-18 months later

So we had the issue of Bear Stern and Lehman in the USA
Then we had Northern Rock etc
Then we had Ireland, Italy etc etc

The current situation is:
USA turning the corner
UK will do the same Sept/Oct of this year
Europe still being hit will turn in 2014.

Years ago I did a study of economical cycles and I found that:
An good times last 7 years and bad times 15 years and in between is the gradual rise and sudden falls.

So this is my expectation that the turning is beginning to happen but will be slowish, but the green roots will appear start of 2013 for UK which is what I wrote when I started writing this blog!
